Purge ValveThe valve allows for partial discharge of debris without needing to move the unit, open the filter lid or disconnect hosing. The canister is flushed out quickly and efficiently.
Clog Free StrainerHeavy duty anti-clogging strainer assures continuous flow.
AquaStop™ ValvesFeaturing Click-Fit technology, allows for fast setup and leak-proof maintenance. Valves rotate and are at 45° angles for easy positioning. They can be used to regulate water flow with no harm to the motor or its components.
Fluval FX5 Smart Pump™ Technology is the key to providing optimal filter performance. This self-priming system offers plug-in-and-start convenience. Smart Pump™ employs an electronic circuit board to continually monitor the pump. Impeller speed and force are constantly measured to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency. Smart Pump™ Technology also manages the FX5 self-starting feature and evacuates air that may enter or build up within the filtration system. On a 24-hour cycle, the pump will pause and allow trapped air to escape, ensuring ultimate filtration efficiency at all times.
SMART PUMP™ TECHNOLOGY
Fluval FX5’s massive capacity and powerful integrated motor processes and recirculates 2,300 liters (607 US gallons) of water every hour, enabling precise management of water conditions for aquariums as large as 1,500 liters (400 US gallons).

Patented Refi ltration SystemDelicate fish and plants require gentle water flow. The filter is equipped with a patented refiltration control system. This feature enables the power filter to slow the water output, while simultaneously increasing filtration dwell time within the filter; resulting in cleaner aquarium water.
5 STAGE FILTRATION1 : Porous foam captures large particles. 2 : Dense poly layer filters out fine debris.3 : Activated carbon adsorbs unwanted odors, discolorations and impurities. 4 : Patent pending Bio-Screen blocks debris from entering the biological stages. The Micro weave core provides massive biological surface area.5 : Biological Trickle Chamber with C-Nodes. Enriched with oxygen to quickly reduce toxic ammonia and nitrite for a healthy aquarium.
